Hi,
it is opportune that you provide an english translation of the thing not ticked in the image.
It isn't like everything know your language and an image can't be translated.
Also about the new permissions, most are privileged permission so they can't be granted unless you place the updated files in the system priv-app folder (with the corresponding new xml).
This apply only to normal phones, for Huawei there is no solution other then wait a ROM update (hopefully Huawei will fix it).

For the issue with permission to "find accounts on the device" try to grant manually the contacts permission to microG Services in the Android settings.

Btw do I need only to have MicroG 0.3.7 as system app, or now i need also to put Companion there?

If possible also Companion should be a privileged system app (with the corresponding xml file) to have everything working.
Note that all microG works also as user app, but there may be some limitations.
also i noticed that i can give location & notification permissions to companion, how are these permissions used in it?
There have been quite a few changes in the new version and I don't remember everything in detail but others may know it better.

It is granted.
Although, there is GET_ACCOUNTS app op which simply refuses to be granted no matter what.

Most of the code of microG isn't used by microG directly but it is used by other apps, so it is difficult to know if there are side effects.
Also some problems aren't noticeable and things may fail silently (theoretically it shouldn't happen but still it may happen).

Well, for example, my bank app doesn't log in anymore. While the app is on the same version, as soin as I updated to 0.3.7 it stopped working. I guess that many other apps are not affected.

Thanks for the explanation

For the GSF issue you just need to install Services Framework Proxy from here: https://microg.org/download.html

com.google.android.gms-250932014.apk aka 0.3.7:
com.google.android.gms-250932014.apk aka 0.3.6:
And thus it's not granted on any device with a higher SdkVersion.
It's because of https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/blob/v0.3.7.250932/play-services-auth-workaccount/core/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
Ref: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS

See:
In ale5000-git post.
As far as I understand is that 0.3.7 introduced a bug with some permissions
lucasmz-dev commentedon May 2, 2025
Is there any known side effect of this being not granted? Everything seems to work fine here
HanabishiRecca commentedon May 3, 2025
I haven't seen any side effects either. So idk why people are so worried about it.
flame-0 commentedon May 3, 2025
Everyone reacts differently, so if something feels off, it's totally fair to be concerned.
